For nearly two hundred years after its foundation, Cambridge increased very slowly in population and wealth. Most of the in- habitants were employed in agriculture and ordinary handicraft. The "New England Glass Company," established about 1814, and sundry "soap factories," represented almost the entire manufacturing interest of the town. The College gave employ- ment to several professors, mechanics, and boarding-house keep- ers; and there was a competent supply of professional men and retail traders. In those early days the municipal affairs were very economically administered. The school-houses and other public buildings were few and inexpensive ; the streets and side- walks were neglected and unlighted ; thorough sewerage was un- known ; the members of the fire department were volunteers ; and the police consisted of one constable in each of the three

principal villages. As the result of this self-denying system, the inhabitants enjoyed a grateful immunity from excessive taxation. In 1830 (near the close of the second century of its corporate existence), with 1,514 polls, and property valued at $3,061,570, the town levied a tax of $8,387.88, at the rate of $2.26 on $1,000, to defray its current expenses. Even in 1840, the rate was only $2.77 on $1,000; but in that year the Committee on Finance uttered a warning voice against a ruinous system, then recently introduced : " There has been expended within the last six years $40,000 more than has been raised by taxation." The town debt was then $36,600 ; it reached its highest point, $41,527.41, in 1842; after which it was reduced to $22,000 in 1846, when the town became a city. Meantime, an increase of population and wealth commenced, which from year to year became more rapid. Various manufactures were introduced, giving employment to many workmen. Merchants, mechanics, and others, transacting business in Boston, adopted Cambridge as a residence. With this increase came naturally a demand for public improvements and increased expenditures. Unwisely, instead of postponing such improvements, or making them gradually and paying for them when made, the policy was adopted of making them rapidly and extensively, and providing for the expense by the creation of a City Debt. The following tables exhibit the increase of popu- lation and wealthı, and the much larger increase of taxation and debt.
